Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account blakeplock for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only remote MCP access to the I2IDL Glossary of Digital Learning: search concepts, read definitions, follow semantic relationships and get…

What you can do: Search published glossary concepts and get their identifiers and canonical URLs
Retrieve a concept's definition, references and metadata
Follow broader, narrower and related concepts with canonical identifiers
Fetch a bounded, citation-preserving context bundle for grounding AI answers
When to use it: Useful when an assistant needs authoritative, citable definitions of digital learning terms, or when grounding an answer in a curated semantic reference graph rather than general web content. Suited to research, writing and terminology work that benefits from persistent identifiers and provenance.
Requirements: A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at id.i2idl.org; no package, API key, environment variable or header is declared. Network access to that endpoint is required.

Before you install

All four tools are read-only and the service is public, so no credentials are requested. Content is third-party material with mixed licensing: I2IDL-original material is generally CC BY 4.0, while third-party content keeps source-specific rights, so check attribution before republishing. Definitions and relationships reflect editorial releases and may change between versions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open I2IDL Glossary of Digital Learning in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.blakeplock%2Fi2idl-glossary/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

I2IDL Linked Data

Open, interoperable Linked Data publication and research services for the I2IDL Glossary of Digital Learning. The project combines a curated semantic reference graph with browser-based exploration and experimental scholarly discovery.

Versioning: I2IDL uses one public release sequence (v0.0.88, v0.0.89, …). Each release is classified Content, Platform, or Combined. The public release tag, gs:publicationVersion, and Squarespace displayed version are synchronized for each release, while concept revisions change only when concept-level assertions change. The npm package and MCP registry versions remain separate compatibility identifiers. See the release policy and release checklist.

Current publication: v0.0.93 (Platform release; 420 concepts unchanged). Includes bilingual crawlable concept pages, structured metadata, improved research rankings, and automated SEO regression checks.

Public resources

Resource	Purpose
Glossary of Digital Learning	Human-readable curated concepts, definitions, sources and evidence
Developer portal	MCP, REST API, SPARQL, Linked Data, and Graph Explorer entry point
Knowledge Graph Explorer	Navigate semantic relationships, compare concepts, analyze graph structure and discover scholarship
Explorer Activity	Public 30-day aggregate engagement counts
JSON-LD graph	Canonical machine-readable publication
SPARQL	Read-only knowledge-graph queries
Persistent namespace	Resolvable concept, definition, source and scheme identifiers
MCP for AI assistants	Public, read-only semantic tools (setup guide)

What the project provides

Curation and provenance: Persistent identifiers, definitions, evidence records, editorial collections, citations, rights and source attribution.
Semantic interoperability: JSON-LD, SKOS, Dublin Core Terms, Schema.org, PROV-O, controlled relationships and selected external mappings.
Graph exploration: Search and navigate a one- or two-hop concept network, shortest paths, comparison tools, field and source analytics.
Scholarly discovery: Single-concept and two-to-five-concept OpenAlex searches with publication year, open-access, and citation ranking controls. Results remain uncurated discovery candidates, separate from I2IDL's assertions.
Research export: CSV and BibTeX downloads of displayed publications with DOI and selected concept identifiers.
Public aggregate activity: Daily pageviews, concept selections, successful research searches, and returned publication counts. These are not unique visitors or unique papers.
Machine access: Persistent identifiers, JSON-LD and Turtle, read-only REST API v1, bounded SPARQL, and four read-only MCP tools for compatible AI clients.

Quick start

See validation, deployment, and the release checklist before publication. For deployed-service checks, run npm run validate:live.

Documentation

Editorial boundary and licenses

Interactive analytics and OpenAlex search results do not write new statements into the canonical JSON-LD graph. New definitions, evidence, mappings and relationships require separate editorial review and validation.

Repository software is distributed under Apache License 2.0. I2IDL-original glossary material is generally CC BY 4.0 unless otherwise noted; third-party content retains source-specific rights. See data licensing, semantic relationship policy, and external mappings.
